• My coworkers and I had a fantastic time at the Escape Room. NO, we didn't escape... But the event definitely identified that we need to work on our communication! And it was really fun. I want to go back and try the detective room!

• I did both of the current Escape Rooms...our team didn't get out of The Detective, but we did escape The Cavern. Really well designed and very challenging. The first time I didn't know anybody else on my team (a friend had to cancel) and still had a great time. Second time had a couple of friends and we got some really great team members whom none of us knew, so don't be shy about signing up if you don't have a big group. It's a lot of fun to work with folks and see how differently people's minds work. Teamwork is everything!!!

• I've done a few of these escape rooms (in SF and LA) and this was my 2nd favorite one primarily because we actually ESCAPED "The Cavern." The tasks were intuitive, straightforward, and realistic!
  
  This company appears pretty popular here in LA so you probably won't have a shortage of available players. I'm of the theory that the more of you there are (regardless of puzzle-solving skills), the better. Everyone can contribute something. Some people are naturally better problem solvers than others, but it's more fun with a party.
  
  Just a few notes (because I obviously won't give away tactics or clues):
  
  This location is kinda shady and I at first thought the first puzzle to solve was how to get INTO the locked building. They just open 30 mins before the first session, so there's no real need to come in SUPER early (which I thought I should do to meet the other players to figure out strategy -- that was not necessary).
  
  Parking is everywhere at various prices (it's DTLA).
  
  Don't be late! Personally, I find socializing beforehand is helpful in making decisions about your teammates and just having fun in general!

• Being locked up in a room with strangers can be more fun than Sartre might suggest. Doing "The Cavern" at Escape Room LA was my first time experiencing the new fad of locked room puzzles, and it was pretty great. I was a little anxious about being thrown in with randos off the proverbial street in addition to the the two friends with whom I went. Fortunately, the other seven people all seemed pretty competent, and we made it out. If I revealed any more, they would kill me. (Kidding.) (Not kidding.)
  
  My only complaint is that the experience can be pretty pricey for about an hour of heady thrills.
  
  Summary: Escape Room LA is almost as good as Escape City LA.

• Janlie V. bought Tiffany N. & I tickets to The Escape Room: 'The Cavern' and we practiced brain teasers, problems, & puzzles in preparation for our escape.
  
  It's located in an unassuming, unlabeled pink building-- a bit sketchy but it's DTLA! Signs in the lobby shows that The Escape Room is located on the 3rd floor so you just take that up. We arrived early so we all got to use the bathrooms before being locked in.
  
  3 other groups arrived making it 10 people total to enter 'The Cavern'. We were all Escape Room virgins so we got a quick intro and it looks like out of 298ish games, only 40 groups were successful-- WHAT?! It was a challenge! It requires really good teamwork, coordination, and observation (a bit more difficult since we were paired with 7 strangers) and sadly, we didn't escape, BUT we were close.
  
  In the end, I left with a slightly bruised ego but want to try 'The Detective' and escape that! I think having 6-8 people is ideal since 10 gets a bit chaotic. Overall, a really fun experience with the deals. 'The Cavern' is 50min long and it passed by quickly.
  
  Tip: There's probably 5 street parking spots in front of the building, more in the area but we ended up parking in a lot for $6 flat. Also, staff mentioned 'The Cavern' is a bit more tactile in its puzzles while 'The Detective' has a bit more paper problems.

• Escape Room LA-The Cavern was a really good experience..50 mins of mystery and puzzle solving..rattled up some brain storming coz we were really close.
  
  Very good and cooperative staff..started a little late coz of other participants but they cordially accommodated everyone.
  
  Nice concept..Will come again next time and Escape it.
